The star said: “Of course one must have the vaccine. Those anti-vaxxers are nuts. They need their heads seen to. It’s ridiculous.
“I’m hoping I get a vaccine as soon as possible. I’m 79 so I’m not quite 80 yet – I’ll be 80 in May.
“I may be able to have it in Italy before I come [back to the UK].”
She continued: “But I’m not going to England until it’s safe to go.
“I mean you’ve got that clown in charge there that I didn’t vote for and I’m holding him responsible for a lot of this mess.”
Viewers were divided over Miriam’s comments on Twitter.
One person said: “Miriam Margolyes is an absolute national treasure.”
Another wrote: “Miriam Margolyes the voice of truth.”
